Here is a major addendum to my earlier blog about the Clinton Foundation.
From Joe Tacopino’s article in today’s New York Post:
Bill Clinton’s foundation doled out $2 million to a power company partly owned by a wealthy blond divorcée — who some say is the frequent visitor to his home nicknamed “Energizer.”
The “commitment” to Julie Tauber McMahon’s firm from the Clinton Global Initiative was placed on its 2010 conference agenda at Clinton’s urging, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
Clinton even went to bat for the company when it came to lobbying for federal funds. He helped steer an $812,000 federal grant to it by endorsing the funds via then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the Journal said.
The fit, blond mother of three, who lives just minutes from Bill and Hillary Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, Westchester, is the daughter of Joel Tauber, a millionaire donor to the Democratic Party.
McMahon, 54, is rumored to be the woman dubbed “Energizer” by the Secret Service at the Clinton home because of her frequent visits, according to RadarOnline.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
No, not about what the article suggests about how Mr. Clinton and Ms. Tauber McMahon might be spending their leisure time; I know you’re thinking that.
I’m thinking that Donald Trump – who media have, with good reason, beaten up on for his three wives and extra-marital affairs – is going to revel in this information/accusation.
Trump just spent the last week calling Hillary Clinton an enabler of her husband’s extra curricular sex life. Do you think this just might fit the narrative? Is there any doubt Trump might use it to say “Don’t talk to me about what I did, talk to me about what your husband did with your friend, which you had to know about, and therefore must have enabled”?
For Trump, this seems to be a classic cudgel to hold over Hillary Clinton if she tries to nail him on infidelity: a “don’t go there because you know what I have waiting for you” situation.
It will be more than a little interesting to see if, and how, Ms. Clinton and her people deal with it.
